Can I use this case as a kick-stand to keep the tablet vertical or horizontal for viewing without using the keyboard or docking station?

Yes, it works best long ways, but isn't the stablest of configurations. If you don't have a keybboard go with a targus or similar case that trifolds. Also be aware that the case is missing a cut out for one of the speakers. Nothing that can't be fixed with a sharp knife. Otherwise I love mine for its versatility both docked and undocked.

You can use the case without the keyboard dock to stand the tablet in Landscape very nicely. In portrait it will stand straight up, but it's not at a good angle. Might post pics if I get a chance....

Adding to my previous reply.... Like the other user, I still love mine for its versatility both docked and undocked.Just a note, when docked and folded it looks like an beefy Franklin Planner. :S

I don't have the unit with me, but it seems like you could. The only concern I would have is the unit is a bit loose in the cover. It stays in the cover adequately because of the tablet and keyboard combined. The cover stands up because of the tablet keyboard connection. Without the keyboard, I'm not sure what it will do in the cover. You may have to be careful when you open it. I would think that there is another cover out there, similar to the apple tablet cover, which has a fold back top, which will allow the tablet to stand up. A specific purpose cover, if you will. Keep looking.......

Since the stand has two little tabs on the ends to hold the tablet well in the horizontal position, it's no good at all for the vertical. The table has nothing to hold it in the vertical position.

I don't use a "kick stand" with mine and it is just fine. Did not know there was one available.

I'm not sure I understand your question but you are able to use the keyboard in a very appropriate angle once the case is open. I had actually ordered the logitec keyboard and canceled it once I tried the case at its lowest angle.

The cover is not designed to use as a vertical stand. It does hold up the tablet vertically but with no ability to tilt it at an angle.

No. The points that hold the tablet are spread to far apart to hold it in the vertical position.

Once detached from keyboard you cannot use the case as a stand. To a lot of people that would be a turn off but for me it didn't matter.

Without the keyboard the case will allow you to prop the tablet up for viewing in a standing position however it is not sturdy enough to actually press the screen in a normal manner without you supporting it with your other hand. Also when you close the case, without the keyboard attachment portion, there is no method in which to keep it closed such as a magnetic flap or button closure. While the case can be used without the keyboard for the most part, it will not have all the functionality of a case that is made to be used with a tablet without a keyboard. This particular case caters towards always having the keyboard attached and in that form it excels nicely.

Yes, the case itself had a kick stand you can use without the holster and you can watch movies, etc. But on the holster the phone will not go into holster unless facing in. There is felt on holster to protect phone. Although they do say the holster has a kick stand, it cannot be used with the phone facing out. The kickstand on case it's great for that though.

Yes the tablet portion of the case also detaches from the keyboard and the flip cover can be used as a stand in both landscape and portrait.

Not really. But the stand works both ways, whether the tablet is upright or on it's side.

The case will not fold flat the way I feel that you are describing. In my opinion, this case is only useful in the horizontal stand position. If you just needed a keyboard extension and stand, it's really great. :)

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

You could but it would be a little difficult because of they keyboard. The screen nor the keyboard folds back 180 degrees so it would be a little cumbersome trying to write on a screen standing upright, with the keyboard underneath.

Not with out the Hisense case. With the case, I can't fine a happy horizonal stand position with it !! I do like the Tablet cover though.

It will not allow it to stand vertically. You can hold it vertically with the flap across the back while holding it in your hand. It is a nice case overall for the price.

Yes, I can set my phone or tablet in the stand either way, so as to have it vertical or landscape. This is a really sturdy and adjustable stand!!
